AMI Project in Nigeria Ikeja

Customer Benefit

1.2M consumers, only 35% with meters. The line loss in

Ikeja power company is US$7.5 million every month

1. Reduce line lose 45% → 14%

2. Cash Cycle 3 Months→ 45 Days

3. Payment Success 60% →100%

4. Increase Metering Customer 23%

PLC - IoT as last mile and GPRS as backhaul

AMI Project in Mexico CFE

1. Reduce line lose 15.8% → 7.6%2. Save OPEX (i.e. cost for network renting in

10 years) by 50%

Customer Benefit

CFE, Electricity Federal Commission, power supply to

122M people

CFE didn’t trust public network e.g. GPRS/3G and

decided to build dedicated network for AMI

Driving force of AMI is to reduce loss, which is 15% in

average, 30%+ in some area
